> Each maven embedder instance is using his own classworld, the problem is that the creation of multiple maven embedder instances can lead to perm gen space errors, since each embedder classworld is filling the perm gen space memory area with new classes, out of memory  errors can occurs quite easily. For some unknown reasons, this memory is never garbaged collected (at least on an MacOSX 1.5.0 JVM). A Shared classworld between all embedder object instances could avoid this potential problem. A modification of the 2.1 embedder API to choose between these 2 modes (own classworld or shared) could be a good thing.
